\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just when it looked like the New Year had begun, the first two months of 2021 have already disappeared. Yes, it is what it is; we are at the beginning of March now, and a majority of us are finally taking the plunge and starting to prepare for CAT 2021 from March. The CAT 2021 preparation plan is something that would help most, if not all, CAT aspirants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good job! Glad that the first step of the process – that of deciding to start preparing for CAT – is already in place. Marching ahead in – and from – March is of paramount importance, and this post is going to cover two broad areas of preparation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How do you go about kickstarting your preparation from March?<\/li>
  2. What does this lead to in the subsequent months?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    There are going to be some overarching themes that we will look to cover month-on-month. Do keep in mind that this is only a framework, and you can customize it as per your strengths, weaknesses and overall preparation strategy for CAT 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    March and April – Arithmetic is everything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Time and again, we have reiterated that Quant is THE go-to section if you are looking to begin your CAT 2021 preparation. Within Quant, there are various chunks that need to be learnt, viz. Arithmetic, Geometry, Modern Math, et al. For a bird’s eye view of the same, head here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Arrange the Quant topics alphabetically or based on the number of questions asked, the first in the list is Arithmetic. You should look to learn all the arithmetic concepts – Percentages, Profit and Loss<\/a>, Simple Interest and Compound Interest, Averages, Mixtures, Ratios and Proportions<\/a>, Time Speed and Distance<\/a> – in entirety, starting now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is that what I am going to do for two months?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Of course not. Obviously, you are going to mix it with a good amount of daily reading (goes without saying that you should definitely check out Bharath’s Reading List<\/a>) and puzzle-solving (for which there is a non-exhaustive list of games you might want to check out, in this article<\/a>). Reading high-quality materials and training your mind to be open to the idea of deciphering puzzles, clues and constraints is of utmost significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep in mind that the CAT 2021 preparation plan is never going to be unidimensional, and focussed strictly on one particular aspect of your preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
